Step aside men of Motown, Sin City and the Big
Apple. Mars Snackfood US announced the release of the “Top 50 Manliest
Cities” in the U.S. The same research expert behind the popular “Best
Places to Live” studies performed the study.

The “Top 50 Manliest Cities” study examines what makes a
city manly and ranks 50 major metropolitan areas using criteria such as
number of professional sports teams, popularity of power tools and
frequency of monster truck rallies. Cities also lose ranking points for
emasculating characteristics like the abundance of home furnishing
stores, high minivan sales and subscription rates to beauty magazines.

Men take great pride in their hometowns. This fact spurred the idea for a
formal study on the manliest cities in America – specifically,
“America’s Manliest Cities.” The “America’s Manliest Cities” study is a
fun way to let the men of America know exactly where they stand against
their brethren coast-to-coast. Charlotte, NC is #2!
